Singtel Has 21 Free Channels For Everyone In Singapore During Covid-19 Outbreak
As the Singapore government advocates for social distancing and reduced outdoor activities in light of the Covid-19 outbreak, many of us might be staying at home a lot more than usual.
Sure, you may have Netflix to keep you occupied for the first week, video games like Animal Crossing for the second week, but you’ll likely feel sian after a month of being cooped up at home.
To help save your sanity, Singtel is offering 3 months’ free access to some of its television channels so you’ll have an endless stream of content to keep you company.
Here are some of our favourites.
1. Discovery Channel (for Singtel TV customers)
The Covid-19 virus might be one of Mother Nature’s most hated creations right now, but many of her other inventions are nothing short of majestic.
With Discovery Channel, you’ll be able to travel the world virtually without having to step out of your house.
From wildlife documentaries to hidden destinations you should head to during your next retreat, you’ll surely be marvelled by natural wonders the world has to offer.
2. Cartoon Network
Times may have changed from when we are kids to the present day. But if there’s something that never changes, its children’s obsession with cartoons.

From classics cartoons like Scooby-Doo to modern ones like We Bare Bears, we bet the channel has something that you kids can look forward to after they’re done with their homework.
3. Asian Food Channel
They say we may well have to change our living habits with the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak. Enhanced personal hygiene and social distancing are likely to stay for the foreseeable future, but if there’s one thing that ain’t going to change, it’s Singaporeans’ love for food.
If you’re a foodie who loves trying out the street food from other countries, Asian Food Channel (AFC) will definitely whet your appetite for your next gourmet adventure.
But if you’re someone who loves cooking at home, AFC will also give you some inspiration as to what you can prep for your next meal with the fam.
4. Comedy Central
After a stressful day of work, nothing beats winding down on the sofa as you enjoy some lighthearted content.
If comedy is your content-of-choice to relax to, Comedy Central’s lineup of sitcoms and shows will have you chuckling along as you recharge for the next day of work.
The Covid-19 situation might be grim now, but embracing it with laughter and a positive mindset will make things a lot better than it seems.
